زَكَريَّا 9

١ 1 وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ حَدْرَاخَ وَدِمَشْقَ مَحَلُّهُ. لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ عَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَكُلَّ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The burden of the word of the LORD upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] its resting place: for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD:

٢ 2 وَحَمَاةُ أَيْضًا تُتَاخِمُهَا، وَصُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ حَكِيمَةً جِدًّا.

and Hamath also which bordereth thereon: Tyre and Zidon, because she is very wise.

٣ 3 وَقَدْ بَنَتْ صُورُ حِصْنًا لِنَفْسِهَا، وَكَوَّمَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ كَٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلذَّهَبَ كَطِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ.

And Tyre did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

٤ 4 هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ يَمْتَلِكُهَا وَيَضْرِبُ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ قُوَّتَهَا، وَهِيَ تُؤْكَلُ بِٱلنَّارِ.

Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

٥ 5 تَرَى أَشْقَلُونُ فَتَخَافُ، وَغَزَّةُ فَتَتَوَجَّعُ جِدًّا، وَعَقْرُونُ. لِأَنَّهُ يُخْزِيهَا ٱنْتِظَارُهَا، وَٱلْمَلِكُ يَبِيدُ مِنْ غَزَّةَ، وَأَشْقَلُونُ لَا تُسْكَنُ.

Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed: and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

٦ 6 وَيَسْكُنُ فِي أَشْدُودَ زَنِيمٌ، وَأَقْطَعُ كِبْرِيَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

٧ 7 وَأَنْزِعُ دِمَاءَهُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَرِجْسَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْنَانِهِ، فَيَبْقَى هُوَ أَيْضًا لِإِلَهِنَا، وَيَكُونُ كَأَمِيرٍ فِي يَهُوذَا، وَعَقْرُونُ كَيَبُوسِيٍّ.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God: and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

٨ 8 وَأَحُلُّ حَوْلَ بَيْتِي بِسَبَبِ ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلذَّاهِبِ وَٱلْآئِبِ، فَلَا يَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدُ جَابِي ٱلْجِزْيَةِ. فَإِنِّي ٱلْآنَ رَأَيْتُ بِعَيْنَيَّ.

And I will encamp about mine house against the army, that none pass through or return: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

٩ 9 اِبْتَهِجِي جِدًّا يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ، ٱهْتِفِي يَا بِنْتَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِي إِلَيْكِ. هُوَ عَادِلٌ وَمَنْصُورٌ وَدِيعٌ، وَرَاكِبٌ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَى جَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَانٍ.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

١٠ 10 وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَتُقْطَعُ قَوْسُ ٱلْحَرْبِ. وَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلسَّلَامِ لِلْأُمَمِ، وَسُلْطَانُهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

١١ 11 وَأَنْتِ أَيْضًا فَإِنِّي بِدَمِ عَهْدِكِ قَدْ أَطْلَقْتُ أَسْرَاكِ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ.

As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

١٢ 12 ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ يَا أَسْرَى ٱلرَّجَاءِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا أُصَرِّحُ أَنِّي أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكِ ضِعْفَيْنِ.

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

١٣ 13 لِأَنِّي أَوْتَرْتُ يَهُوذَا لِنَفْسِي، وَمَلَأْتُ ٱلْقَوْسَ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَأَنْهَضْتُ أَبْنَاءَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ عَلَى بَنِيكِ يَا يَاوَانُ، وَجَعَلْتُكِ كَسَيْفِ جَبَّارٍ.

For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

١٤ 14 وَيُرَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَوْقَهُمْ، وَسَهْمُهُ يَخْرُجُ كَٱلْبَرْقِ، وَٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ يَنْفُخُ فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَيَسِيرُ فِي زَوَابِعِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

١٥ 15 رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ يُحَامِي عَنْهُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَدُوسُونَ حِجَارَةَ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَضُجُّونَ كَمَا مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَيَمْتَلِئُونَ كَٱلْمَنْضَحِ وَكَزَوَايَا ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine: and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

١٦ 16 وَيُخَلِّصُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. كَقَطِيعٍ شَعْبَهُ، بَلْ كَحِجَارَةِ ٱلتَّاجِ مَرْفُوعَةً عَلَى أَرْضِهِ.

And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

١٧ 17 مَا أَجْوَدَهُ وَمَا أَجْمَلَهُ! اَلْحِنْطَةُ تُنْمِي ٱلْفِتْيَانَ، وَٱلْمِسْطَارُ ٱلْعَذَارَى.

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
